OK, sorry 'bout that.  Do you think it would it help if there were another
"update" button below the rate box?


2)  Do the Private collection notes simply remain in the boxes, or should a
new addition on the page appear after hitting update? (like with the Public
collection)

For now, they're in the box, but probably tomorrow your own personal notes
will also appear along the top...  It's just a loose end to tidy up, and we
wanted to make a cut and and put this up tonight.


3)  Will the presumed-to-eventually-be-massive Public Collection info on
each page appreciably slow the database?  Will there be an option to browse
without seeing those, but simply a link to look at them if desired?

If it gets too long of a list, we could put it on a sub-page.  Someday ya I
think it would be helpful to be able to disable the view of that through some
preference.


4)  Everything is grouped by major categories now, with no menu structure for
looking at sub-themes.  Will this be re-added?

Hmm, I'm not sure I understand the question.  Do you mean a tree view, like the
one shown here?--

If so, ya, we'll make something like that for the new one too -- only more
clear.  There's a quick start at a list of themes on this page:

5)  Where/how do we now submit info for the database?

Nowhere yet, but prolly soon.

Maybe there needs to be a little noted added about where to email info to.
I've been using themes@lugnet.org (I think).
